the rain sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain (or snow, other moisture, dust, etc.) and the wipers will operate automatically.
Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the
windscreen is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under these conditions can scratch the windscreen and damage the wip-
ers.CAUTIONl With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lever in the “AUTO” position,the wipers may automatically operate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position or move the lever to the “OFF” po-
sition to deactivate the rain sensor.

this operation of the wipers does not take
place when the vehicle is stationary and the
ambient temperature is about 0 °C or lower.

using wipers and washers
E00507600014
l If the moving wipers become blocked by
ice or other deposits on the glass, the
motor may burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction
occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the de- posits from the glass so that the wipersoperate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister
